Samson Rocket’s Nursery

Just a few pictures of my little one’s nursery. At the time, I was in love with the Dwell line at Target that just came out, so the decals are everywhere. Sam seems to like them, so we will probably keep them for a while.

I bought this “S” from a yard sale for $5. It was actually form a super nice gal who recently bought something from me. I totally love it and is probably one of my favorite pieces in his room. I bought the paper tiger at an estate sale a few months ago. It was buried under a nasty rug and was in surprisingly great shape. My boyfriend found the companion pieces (elephants, camels, etc) stacked between posters in another room. We are saving the other ones for a later date.

I couldn’t figure out what kind of chair I wanted for nursing. I tried all the modern reproduction rockers and gliders, but all were either too expensive, way uncomfortable or just pain ugly. I eventually found this chair while on a shopping trip. I bought it out of a trailer home in Arkansas for $10. No joke. It was badly scratched up, no cushion and the fabric was shot. I initially bought it to re-sell, so I had it reupholstered. When I got the chair back I fell in love with it. It is super soft and so comfy. I don’t miss having a rocker at all. The seat is deep and the back high, just what I was looking for.

So, I’m not sure I recommend the Dwell line from Target. We have the crib and matching changing table. As you can see, the drawer on the left is on the floor. They are safe, but somewhat jankey. That drawer has fallen out like 3 times, so I am resigned to having it stay there. Anyway, the green bouncer is awesome and worth the $80 from Babies R Us. You can plug your IPod into it which is a neat feature, although I can’t say I’ve done it yet. Sam loves the vibrate and it is way sturdier than it looks.

This is another one of my favs. This was a shower gift from our friends “The Merkels” The chime is so sweet and timeless. I love seeing it through the window.

Just a shot of our favorite toys for Sam. The sock elephant was a gift from my Mom. I first spotted it while shopping with her and Luby in an antique mall way before I was even pregnant. She surprised me with it last month. So happy it was still there! The Mighty Mouse was a Christmas gift to Luby from me. He had it in his dresser forever, so I had it dry-cleaned and framed. The back side is a cape! How awesome is that?

Some close-ups of his growth chart I bought from eBay. Love the illustrations.

I bought the vintage baby scale from an estate sale last month. It was brand new with the box! I was so excited. I’ve been wanting one for a while, but every time I come across them, the thought of buying them used was a bit gross. Seems a little silly, but I just can’t wait for his check-ups to see how much he weighs. FYI, he’s in the 95th percentile for height AND weight.
